Days after their special meeting with Cion, Kazuya Oda and Royland were doing some menial work, helping others both in the human world and the digital world. They continued to live their lives peacefully, while some interesting things happened to the both of them nothing was big, until now. Once Kazuya checked his D-terminal he found something interesting, Cion sent him a message that said the following.
Hello Kazuya and Roy, something came up. There is a stolen artifact I need to retrieve it, I need you to help me. Meet me in Rosewood.
- Your CEO and friend, Cion.
After reading the message Kazuya could'nt help but smile, the content of the message was not a good thing, something important was stolen. But the opportunity to work with Cion and see what she is capable of was something that Kazuya looked forward to, he then turned to Roy and handed him the D-terminal. "Hey Roy, read this. Apparently Cion has something for us to do."
Royland then took the D-terminal from Kazuya and began to read it, he was frustrated at the act of theft. But the idea of fighting side by side with Cion was very appealing to him, he then excitedly and quickly turned towards his tall human partner. His gaze had a luminous blaze to it, the strength of his resolve was clearly evident in his eyes. "Let's go right now Kazuya!" He said with a firm and a rough voice, the lion was itching to deliver the thief some well deserved justice.
With a firm nod from Kazuya, the close duo headed for Rosewood in order to stop the thief and bring justice for the weak.
(At Rosewood and before the message was sent)
When Cion was there she heard the distressed screams of a Jijimon, he was in front of a school. Once Cion got near him he called for her "Hey you there, help! My name is Galter and I have a problem, last night a friend brought me a digimental and I wanted to use it to teach my young students about their uses. But now when I went to search for it, it was stolen! Its a very strong item and can wreck havoc if its used for evil. Please lend this old man a hand, I would have done it myself but.." The Jijimon lowered his shirt to show Cion his shoulder which had a weird wound that was completely black and emits a stranger oppressive aura.
"Thanks to this wound I can't do combat anymore, its the reason I opened a school again. But anyways plz help me, kind stranger." The Jijimon was desperate, his fear was clearly obvious. And he displayed a strange sense of friendliness with Cion, even though he did not know her. He was a rather peculiar digimon.

Though initially intending to spend some leisure time in Rosewood to rejuvenate her spirits and savor the view of this fine village with a marvelous purpose prospering, as it was typical her plans were swiftly tossed aside. Naturally the plea of the Jijimon was not one Cion could deny. A thief and opposer to education simply had to stopped, especially if this individual or group possessed a digimental that was truly as powerful as the old teacher made it out to be. It was hard for the unassuming apex digimon to believe, but any potential threat had to be taken seriously and dealt with appropriately.
Thankfully, this was a great opportunity and excuse to rally members of her organization for a common task. However, nobody but Kazuya & Royland had been available. That was of course no detriment in the silver fennec's eyes - perish the thought! They three of them likely sufficed to deal with this predicament quickly and efficiently. Besides, she was eager to meet up with them and see what the white lion was capable of. Tales of past lives were swell and dandy, but the present mattered much more. Hopefully, the knight was a mighty as he was chivalric.
With her notification sent, the restrained Arniomon did not merely twirl her thumbs until the enchanting duo arrived. No - she had visited the school to look for tracks they could pursue. There indeed were near a smashed window, but due to the soil's and grass' dampness it was impossible to tell how many and what kind of digimons these footprints belonged to. Although less than expected, this lead at least granted a direction - a path to the distant Tyrant's Labyrinth. That was quite a walk, particularly if her comrades were incapable of flight.
Regardless, Cion patiently awaited them at the town's center. There she sat at on the edge of a large spring, the floor engulfed in leaves of varying, rufous and lutescent colors. Autumn was at its peak, causing the digital world to grow clammy. Ideal conditions for grand larcency; credit were it was due - their adversaries were probably not completely mindless

The Jijimon was happy to know that the kind stranger was not only willing to help him and not only that but also is gonna call some friends to help, he raised his staff in celebration. "Huzzah! Thank you stranger, here I will give you this information that may help you. Yesterday I saw a menacing Meramon, he might be the one who did it. But rumor has it that there are a group of guys plotting something together, that meramon is supposedly part of them. We did not have enough evidence against them, but if you catch them red-handed we can ease the tension that's been dominating the atmosphere these past days. " The old wise digimon said as he was stroking his beard, he was much more relaxed now than before.
He followed Cion as she did some investigating, the old digimon just watched in silence. Cion seemed like she knew what she was doing so he did bother her anymore, and just saw what she was doing. Soon after Cion left to wait for Roy and Kazuya, so the Jijimon waved her off and wished good fortune upon Cion.
Meanwhile Kazuya and Roy reached Rosewood, the beauty of the red leaves and well constructed facilities caught Kazuya off guard, the man with the golden eyes couldn't help but admire the elegance of the place. Kazuya mused to himself about how similar digimon civilization and human civilizations really are. While Kazuya was busy appreciating the beauty and irony of his thoughts, Royland searched for Cion and after looking for her for a couple of seconds he immediately and as he felt a sense of Jubilation at meeting his friend once more, the passionate Spadamon pressed towards Cion as he called for her from a far "Heya Cion!!" Roy said as he ran towards her his face adorned in a warm smile, a smile reserved for those Roy sees as friends nay those who are his comrades.
While he got to her really quickly, Kazuya was just a little behind. "Hello Cion, its been a while eh ? We got your message, so we need to retrieve some stolen artifact ?" Kazuya said as he placed his hand on his chin, the tall man wondered what could that artifact actually be.
"Wait did you investigate the crime scene ? Do you know where they are heading to ? The number of culprits ?" Roy asked a couple of questions, hoping to get some answers, the young noble lion wanted to solve this case rather as he wanted to deliver swift justice to the wicked.

Naturally, the fine lady appreciated the gratitude of the Jijimon but made no big fuzz about it. The information that a mere Meramon and potential allies were responsible for this crime eased her agitated soul, but that did not mean that she took this predicament less seriously. A powerful digimental in the clutches of fiends was truly undesirable and unacceptable - hence Cion performed her investigation with great care before awaiting the rival of the duo of valiant sentinels from ASCENSION she gladly considered her friends. Assistance and comradeship was preferred while facing the task ahead.
Despite Autumn impeding movement, Kazuya and Sir Royland arrived rather quickly. Leaping off the spring's stony railing, she happily waved back at the white lion who seemed quite excited to meet her again. The feeling was mutual for events soon to occur gave her the pleasant anticipation of beholding what the knight of yore was actually capable of. No that she had any doubts of the truth of his tale nor his volition, but current skill was an entirely different aspects. However, few that were not adepts carried themselves with the kind of genuine chivalry as the Spadamon did. Ultimately, she was confident in a positive outcome for today.
Kindly responding the smile of the human and his partner with one of her own, the restrained Arniomon nodded firmly and folded her arms. Carefully listening to their words, she dedicated some seconds to formulate proper response. When she did so, they were filled with utmost obligingness and sense of camaraderie. "I wish you a good day. Has not been too long, but then again the weeks went by quite fast. In any case, yes, an apparently potent digimental was stolen and likely brought to a bandit camp in the direction of the Tyrant's Labyrinth. Champions... maybe Perfects."
With the silver fennec's aureate eyes mostly lingering on Roy, it was clear that she had shared the significant details with them. All obvious facts were available to them. Unfortunately, the exact nature in quality and quantity of their opposition remained unknown. Thankfully, to a digimon of Cion's level that was hardly a concern. If nothing else, she regarded this event as a decent initiation for her most recent companions. Certainly the former Mega and his associate were ready to face this challenge, not?
If yes... then perhaps getting a move on was an adequate procedure to pursue.

The duo took some time to fully comprehend what Cion just told them, they are target was not one but a group of criminals and one of them is a champion level digimon, a meramon in fact. This caused Kazuya to worry even if it is just a little bit, the idea of Roy and Cion being outnumbered meant that the chances for the golden eyed man to be targeted rose up. And as a mere human living among digital monsters that can do stuff humans could only imagine, this meant that Kazuya can easily find himself in grave danger. Kazuya then placed his hand on his chin, he started to think about their next actions and formulating a plan.
Royland however got excited as he heard the details of the situation from Cion, the idea of fighting multiple bad digimon at the same time made him happy. You see Royland lives to test his might on the battlefield, carrying his weapons to fight evil and bring Justice to a corrupt world is what he feels like he was born to do. His glare was focused and never wavered he nodded to Cion and said "Tyrant labyrinth ? If so I think I am familiar with the terrain, but I am afraid our enemies might be as well. We should approach with caution, if we are out numbered then we'd better use the element of surprise to our favour. If we attack during moments of confusion then we can take away their numbers advantages, luckily for us my champion form ClearLöwemon is perfect for quick and out speeding my enemies, while maintaining high damage output. What do you say Cion ?" Royland asked, he offered his suggestion. But he would love to hear everyone's opinions about this whole thing, if they were to win it would be thanks to team work.
Kazuya removed his hand from his chin, he had to face of a man who just had a good idea. "While I do agree with Roy's plan there are but two things that bother me. First is, and forgive me if it's rude but what are your combat capabilities Cion ? And second, we need to figure the criminals motives. There has to be a reason to go through all this, and I would love to figure out." Kazuya gave his opinion.

Briefly noticing Kazuya's thoughtfulness, Cion's attention was quickly claimed by Sir Royland again. The spark fo excitement within his golden eyes was a good sign of confidence and passion in her opinion, though she had no doubt that wariness remained a supreme maxim to the knight's course of action. After all, although the trio possessed general knowledge of the endeavor at hand, too many details were missing for them to act carelessly. A group of bandits with a powerful digimental was not to be underestimated, even if every individual enemy on their own was likely but a marginal hindrance.
Perceiving the white lion's smile turning into a serious glare, she nodded with equal firmness and carefully listened to what her treasured friend had to tell her. "Both of us." She commented with a neutral expression and tone to her voice. Indeed, lots of months ago, she had vanquished a source of black corruption with others in the Tyrant's Labyrinth. Hopefully, the local flora had recovered from the dark taint. As for his plan, the small fox clearly had no problem with bushwacking her opponents if that was preferred by her associates. Just about to calmly confirm the suggested approach, it was the gentleman who put forth his objections.
To her delight, the young adult displayed his typical wit. Keeping her arms folded, her stance still uncramped a bit, opening herself up to the friendly human's proposals and questions. "Very well, ambush shall be our method." Cion confirmed before giving the lad a toothy simper. "It's not rude to ask, dear. On the contrary - it's perfectly understandable. My greatest assets are disruption, attrition and support. Ergo making my allies' job easier. Doesn't mean I can't carry my own weight though."
Proudly beating a speck of dust out of her platinum neck pelt, she took in a deep breath and processed the digidestined's request for a moment. While clemency was, taken from her experience, an almost fatuous sentiment these days, especially with Rosewood prospering, perhaps her fine boy had a point. Although disbelieving the raiders had a motive above primal avarice and lust for power, there was a chance they gained valuable intel that led them to more fiends that had to be stopped. "If we manage to leave survivors for questioning... than that's a reasonable intent."
With grave words spoken rather nonchalantly, her gaze fell towards the direction of their destination. The noon's light lingered, but for how long considering it was late Autumn,

Royland smiled as he listened to Cion, she agreed to his plan. The knight loved to test his blade but thanks to being forced to lead an army he began to appreciate strategy over brawls, so having decided on a strategy as simple as it may have been was a good thing now they can focus on other stuff like how the both of them can work together utilizing their strength. "Great then we shall hope that our enemies do not see us coming, if we are lucky we can neutralize one or two enemies before we lose the element of surprise. I do not intend to sound cruel but if our enemies are indeed hardened criminals, I suggest we throw mercy out of the window and instead we opt to destroy them completely and pray they get reborn as more law abiding digimon." Roy said as his countenance was more serious and grim, he was not a violent digimon but Royland knew that they are somethings that have to be done sometimes even if they seem to be cruel.
Kazuya would have protested against such act if it was not for what happened some time ago, now he knows that the world of Digimon can be cruel, for every benevolent digimon like Royland and Cion there are others who are driven by their simple avarice and other demented desires. So extreme measures are sometimes unavoidable, and Cion seemed to agree. But then she told Kazuya and Roy that she is a good support that can carry her own weight, this made Kazuya chuckle. "I am sorry but this is too perfect. You see I have been training with Roy in order to learn the strength and weakness of his current champion form and we found that he is an attack focused digimon. He excels in dealing damage and has abilities to support himself so his perfect partner is someone who can help him be better at what he does, to think you of all people have that ability to help him, this is indeed a match made in heaven. " Kazuya mused as he had a satisfied look on his face.
"Indeed, this information made everything a lot easier. Our formation should have me on the front and you be at the back, this way even if I fall for a trap god forbid, you will be safe. That and you can get a better view over the battle, this way you can change our formation and give me orders as you see fit Cion. I believe this way we will maximize our strength and have better control over the battle." Royland added with a serious countenance on his face.
After the discussion over battle strategies was over, the trio were ready to head over to the criminal hideout. But before they could leave they were stopped by a high pitched voice from their back "Guys stop!" Once they turned their back they will find a small Patamon flying towards them. "I learned that you guys want to fight the criminals that stole master Jijimon's treasured item right ? Allow me to join you. " the Patamon was acting courageous and prideful.
"Master Jijimon ? Are you one of the kids from the school ? What is your name ? " Royland asked he looked confused.
"I am not a kid! My name is Julian, I am a proud fighter and I want to bring Justice to the wicked. " The patamon said with a serious look on his face, it was as if he was trying to look scary but it failed. He then landed on all fours, still trying to look ferocious.
Royland then walked up to him and placed his hand on Julian's head. "Sorry little man I can't take you with me now, but if you become stronger I will. So wait for us now, watch over Jijimon and the rest ok ?" Royland said with a smile on his face, he did not want to hurt the feelings of the little boy but he had to tell him the truth at the same time.
Julian lowered his gaze as he let out a single tear, he knew that Roy was right but he did not want to admit it. "Yes! I will" He said as his voice began to break down from holding in his tears. With that Roy got up and turned towards Kazuya and Cion "lets go guys." He said as the three of them headed to retrieve the stolen digimental.
(Somewhere in the labyrinth)
There was a shack in the middle of the forest, inside the shack there were three digimon two of them standing and two of them sitting. The ones that were standing were a meramon and a Minotaurmon. While the one that was sitting on a fancy looking chair was a weregarurumon, he was spreading his legs and a had grin on his face. Holding the digimental with his left hand and twirling it, he held a phone on his right hand and began to speak into it. "Alright, we got the digimental you were talking about. Now do we get in the family, Astamon ?"
"Tsk tsk why so hasty baby ? If it was this easy to be a part of us everyone and their mothers would have been with us won't they ? Now before you start patting yourself in the back little boy know that we need to meet tomorrow to see it in person, and even then that's only phase one of our initiation ceremony. There are two left, can you handle it or are you going to cry to your mommy that I am unfair ?"
The weregarurumon grunted "yeah sure we can handle it.."
"Uh uh, remember your manners boy!".
"We can handle mister Astamon."
"I knew you were a good boy Garuru, now I gotta go eat some italian human food. Ciao~" with that the Astamon hanged up the phone.
The weregarumon gritted his teeth as he placed his phone on table, he stopped for a second before throwing the digimental with a mighty force hitting the wall cracking it. The meramon ran over and grabbed the digimental.
"THAT PIECE OF SHIT!! DOES HE THINK HE CAN WALK ALL OVER ME BECAUSE HE IS ONE OF THE BOSS TWO COMMANDERS ? I WILL SHOW HIM! I MIGHT HUMOR HIM NOW AND GET IN THE FAMILY, CLIMB UP THE RANKS. THEN MURDER HIM AND ABSORB HIS DATA I WON'T LEAVE ANY TRACE OF HIM BEHIND, I WILL EVEN DETHRONE THE CURRENT BOSS."
The Meramon and Minotaurmon looked at each other, they were scared and confused. "I am sure you will boss."
"Yeah you are the best, we will support you forever."
Unaware to them that duo to yelling, Roy, Cion and Kazuya can all locate the shack now and that made them an easier target than before. Now its only a matter of time.

Huh... it seemed Sir Royland's standpoints were quite similar to Cion's Apparently, they both agreed that swift and merciless justice was an excellent way to approach their vile adversaries. Although a rare opinion, he too believed that absolving fiends from their current existences was a preferable course of action. Naturally, it was a perfectly understandable stance from her point of view. Freed from their inherent darkness, the souls they delivered were granted a proper childhood and future prospects through Rosewood. They were bound to find peace and content in that, becoming good members of civilization and society.
Nodding firmly yet approvingly, they left this grave topic behind them as the silver fennec focused her attention on Kazuya. Smiling, she rolled her eyes, clearly amused by the boy's innocent excitement. "Most warriors are trained on offensive and self-reliance, dear. I merely recognized and embraced the advantages of cooperation - the maxim of ASCENSION." She explained calmly and kindly, confident that it was not too surprising for the duo to learn that she was a sentinel specialized in defense, support, attrition and disruption. After all, it was a great set of skills for a former votary and present leader.
Delighted by the white lion's sense for strategy, the restrained Arniomon chuckled and tapped her own chest to express unyielding confidence and composure. "I would not worry, although I am fond of your forethought. But... sure, why not?" She stated and asked rhetorically, accepting the knight of yore's rule-of-thumb tactics. The frontliners fight at the front, the supporters remain backstage. Nothing special, but efficient. Still, she pondered briefly if she should let them know of the true extent of her power. However, she decided to ultimately not reveal that she was far beyond anything Roy might have encountered before, especially his erstwhile archon a Dukemon. A fine surprise was enjoyable anyway.
As they were about to make their way over to the bandits to ironically raid them, a young Patamon got in their way and requested participation. There was courage and pride in his core, but was the lad not too naive and inexperienced? "Julian..." Cion spoke with ceaseless sympathy. Glad that her partners were agreeing that he was too fragile to join their cause. Though that did not mean she did not mention her endorsement and admiration for the child's valor. "I promise... I will not forget you, youthful paladin." In the end, every tiny seed had to be fostered for it to blossom. Perhaps this angel was a fit pupil.
A shack within a dark, dank forest? If the trio was not trying to stealthily ambush their prey then the vulpine ascendant would have burst out in convulsive laughter. So these brigands favored primitivism instead of the grandiosity that was modern culture? To each their own, notwithstanding that these divide in opinions was about to be terminated. Nonetheless, thanks to her large ears, the fox got the gist of their enemies' conversation. Savages, criminals and paws the two Perfects and one Champion were - as to be expected.
"So... let's stick with the plan and try for survivors. They are mere fishes in a big pond reigned by a cocky Astamon. Some 'questioning' could be advantageous." She whispered as quietly as possible, waiting for her allies to initiate their assault if she was not tasked to do it herself.

Royland was very fond of Cion's attitude towards combat, she carried herself with a confidence that is refreshing and the most important thing was the fact that Cion was familiar with how cruel the world can be in regards to digimon combat. I guess its the fact that both of them knew how harsh reality can be made the two bond over quickly and share the dream of an utopia, Royland was happy to meet a kindred spirit and find a friend and comrade in Cion.
Kazuya nodded as Cion made some fair arguments. "I guess you are right, anyways I am glad we get to work together. We need to hurry up, while the night can be advantageous to our approach, it can also be an obstacle to us. So we need to work quickly and efficiently, I am counting on you guys." Kazuya said as the conformation with the criminals was nigh. But the group was stopped by a patamon, Royland then took care of the situation.
Julian meek eyes stared at Cion, he was happy with her words, truthfully Julian was too scared to fight but he wanted to do it for the sake of others. But he did not fight Roy to join and just accepted his role as the school's defender, he then nodded at Cion his eyes locked with hers and in comparison to her brilliant flame in her eyes, his eyes had the quality of a weak ember ready to ignite in the future. "Thank you, you are too kind. I will pray for your success everyone, come back safely. I will be waiting for you alongside Jijimon, we are eternally grateful for your help." The patamon said as he saw everyone leave for the bandit camp, he waited patiently for their return.
Once the trio was deeper in the forest they heard some faint noises from the distant, but soon the noises turned into downright screams. Kazuya and Royland were alarmed, so much so that the golden eyed man immediately took his digivice and evolved his digimon to his ClearLöwemon noise. "I see, well we need to be careful now. Lets surround the place where the voice came from." With that the three of them headed towards the shack, Roy suggested to wait a couple of minutes.
As they did they noticed the meramon walk out and lean on the wall of the shack, he seems to be examining his surroundings but he was not doing a good job. "Listen Cion, can you use a projectile or something to lure him away from the shack ?" Royland asked.

Confidence and shortwork or not, it were just the results that mattered to the ancient sentinel. For too long had she been following others, blindly believing that any victory, no matter how Pyrrhic, served a greater purpose and good. But in the end, like a faultily crafted building, her efforts and that of her leaders and fellow votaries had been destined to collapse. No more. Nothing less than a total success had become acceptable in her burning, aureate eyes.
Failures and setbacks during intermediate steps were inevitable and hence had to be tolerated - but only if the outcome remained immaculate. Hopefully, the fervent yet naive and inexperienced Patamon learned from today and the lesson she had needed eons to realize and comprehend. Heroes couldn't simply be lion-hearted, they had to be efficient and consequent. Perhaps this realization would illuminate the weak amber in Julian's pupils and heart, sparing him of an existence of aberration unlike her.
With solely the mission at hand on her mind, the restrained Arniomon almost chuckled due to the fact that it took Sir Royland plenty of time to understand that digivolution was likely a decent idea to oppose Champions and Ultimates. Even with stealth being their approach, self-preservation was of highest priority to assure them vanquishing the bandits and retrieve the stolen digimental. Thankfully, this little interruption was of no hindrance, ergo not disconcerting.
With the shadows remaining on their side, the tiny fennec and her allies hid behind the walls of the shack. Eventually, the inattentive, undutiful Meramon stepped out, prompting Roy to request a distraction. "I'd love to." Cion answered kindly in hushed whispers. Silently, an iridescent sheen veil her right paw as through force of will alone a large, ethereal javelin manifested itself above her. Taking in a deep breath, it lingered in the air motionlessly until the moment she pushed her arm forward.
With this command, the construct of primordial elements and cosmic energy whizzed with unrivaled velocity across the scrubland. Within a second, a distant tree got struck, causing it to partially fall in as her conjured weapon split it in two pieces, dissipating like a cloud of smoke in the process. That had to claim the fiery simpleton's attention, not?

Kazuya and Roy waited patiently for Cion to make her move, the fact that the Meramon left on his own was a blessing as they needed to determine a lot of variables and now that the only one they knew was out there, they can capture him and get information out of him. But that all is based on Cion's next move, sadly she was very limited. But she made it work by knocking down some tree, this caught the attention of the meramon. But he was a bit weary, he decided to carefully approach it, but in a moment of selfishness he wanted to do it on his own, in order to gloat to his friends.
Once he got near there the Meramon looked around, finding nothing the fire champion was disappointed. Till he examined the tree further, he immediately recognized the fact that a strong digimon did this. "Oh god this is bad, this is bad. I need to escape right now, gotta tell the boss." Meramon got up and began sprinting back to the shack. But then he felt a thud in the back of his head, after falling unconscious for a couple of seconds the meramon woke up only to find his hands behind his back and having a spear behind his head.
"Scream and I will kill you, move and I will kill you. Do anything other than answering our questions, and I will kill you. If you understood all that, blink twice." The meramon was afraid, but he wanted to save his own life, so he blinked twice. Roy then turned towards Cion and waited for her to begin interrogating the fire champion.

Thankfully, the Meramon was as foolish as it was uncivilized. Cion's parlor trick had indeed managed to distract it enough for their ambush to commence without problems. Despite its panicked soliloquy about escaping quickly and informing its boss of the attack, this declaration of intention was bound to never become reality. It was with unexpected roughness that Sir Royland bopped it on the head, causing the fiery bandit to briefly lose consciousness. Upon awakening within a few seconds, a spear delivered by the blue warrior was all it took to silence it and hopefully make it comply.
Surprised yet pleased by the chivalric paladin's adamant assiduity, the restrained Arniomon calmly and quietly positioned herself in front of the nature spirit. In spite of her stature, there was not a single shred of fear nor timidity in the silver fox's stance and mimic - an antithesis to the way the raider of living flames carried himself. Her confidence was not faked and it did not originate from hubris, but unyielding passion. Combined with her ladylike manners she was truly a female sentinel of beaming grace who was utterly devoted to her cause and those that swore an oath of fealty.
"I apologize for my partner's drastic measures. Considering we are in opposition, I am sure you understand." She whispered kindly, nodding with understanding and sympathy as she folded her hands behind her back. Assuring that they were covered by shadows and flora, her unwound gaze returned to their craven hostage. "Though not certain, we have reason to believe that you stole the powerful digimental. No need to explain your impetus; I've heard the whole... 'conversation' with your vociferous accomplices." She explained with a sweet temper, not wishing to tread unnecessary ground. Their captive certainly understood and complied, did he?
Clearing her throat, Cion took in a deep breath and continued this little farce they were entwined in. "I put is a simple and clear as I can. Tell us everything about the Astamon and its criminal organization... and I won't have grounds nor desire to attain the information through other means." The small fox stated even-temperedly, visibly having no yearning to waste precious time with low-life thugs such as the ablaze nightmare soldier. If the felon was smart and driven by a healthy survival instinct than it knew what was best for its well-being.

Kazuya was honestly shocked at Royland's actions, although at some level he understood why he did what he just did. From what they knew, the group was dealing with criminals, very dangerous ones at that. So when a golden opportunity presented itself, Roy couldn't possibly live with himself if he let it go. So he took control of it and now this Meramon is his prisoner, and if he complies Royland will give him his life back as the noble knight believed every one has a right to a redemption, so he won't badly harm the fire digimon.
The Meramon was nervous and scared, his thoughts shifting from what these powerful strangers will do to him and what his boss will do to him if he finds out that not only did Meramon act based on his pure and selfish desire for glory, but in doing so he endagered both the team and their dreams. "I will not talk you can't make me, you basic witch! Tell your muscle here that I am better than this. " the Meramon summoned the last ounce of courage and self respect he had to make an obvious bluff, the broken voice the hestitation in his look and the overal defeated aura the digimon exude was a bit too much, neither Kazuya nor Roy believed him and neither should Cion honestly.
Royland flipped his spear, hitting the the Meramon over the shoulder. Causing him to grunt in pain, the meramon then began to catch his breath. The ClearLöwemon however just kept his calm "Now then, will you keep acting tough or will you speak up. My friend is patient, I however am not. " Royland said the tone of his voice was quite and serious, this was not something the knight wished to prolong. He wanted to have this over with before the sun rises in the next morning.
Kazuya was rendered to an onlooker for now, he really did not see any valid reason for him to join in. Both Royland and Cion were more than capable of dealing with this each on their own, the young bright man decided to use this time to come up with their next move, calculating and thinking about everything they can use for their advantage. Everything from the time and layout of the area, using the darkness of the night to capture their targets. To other more variable stuff like, what their mentality will be like if their partner continues to be missing. Kazuya made himself busy trying to be fifty steps ahead of their enemies, he was similar to a chess player trying to optimize his moves.
The Meramon closed his eyes for a moment, contemplating whether or not to speak up, finding himself out of option he chose to ask for mercy and plead to the strangers. "Ok wait wait, I will talk. " he paused to take a deep breath. "Have you heard of a criminal called Dionysus, probably not and thats the point. They are a shadow orgnaization specializing on drug and weapon trade. Their special item is called the nectar of the gods, its a pill that allows a digimon to consume it and evolve pass what they should do. But so far they only work for Rookies, champions who consume the pills evolve into ultimate but lose their sanity. And by stealing a digimental they can continue their research, unlocking higher states of evolution. Me, Minotaurmon and Weregarurumon stole a digimental and requested to be inducted to the family. And now we should meet Astamon the left hand man to a digimon known only as the Boss, tomorrow morning. He has been bullying and harassing my boss were graurumon. " Meramon said as he betrayed his friends for the first time, it was not a feeling he enjoyed.
Royland turned to Cion "alright, do you want to ask any more questions ?" The knight has heard enough, but he wanted to know if there are things that they might need.
Kazuya however absorbed this new knowledge and tried to formulate a new plan. Especially if they are going to confrot Astamon, a digimon that seemed powerful. But he is also a criminal that has remained mysterious to most of the world by now.

As amusing and adorable as the Meramon's ironic defiance was, it served no purpose other than wasting valuable seconds of private interrogation. Calmly and quietly with folded arms, Cion observed the frightened mess that was the bandit in front of her, faking confidence and might unlike her who inherently had these aspects. Thankfully, the current bad cop that was Sir Royland acted appropriately, giving their hostage a firm nudge on the shoulder with his spear.
An act of violence, but it was merely a handsel. Naturally she had no interest in brutish means to extract information, but she had become forceful in her impetus to purify the digital world. Hence she permitted it to happen to a sullen criminal. Ultimately, the figurative slap on his wrist had sufficed to intimidate their captive, making further sway unnecessary. Briefly noticing that Kazuya seemed lost in his thoughts, the silver fennec returned her absolute focus to the questioning at hand.
Not saying anything, the neutral expression of the restrained Arniomon lingered, her mind absorbing all knowledge she received from the nature spirit. Unfortunately, the news were far from rejoicing. Another shadowy organization that traded weaponry and intoxicants; really? The cycle of vacuity and deterioration truly never ended if sentinels did nothing but to counteract it. At least it was a boon that she had founded ASCENSION to prevent such taint from blighting this realm of dormant, infinite potential and possibilities. Therefor total victory was indispensable.
"When will people learn that the easy way is most often the detrimental one?" Cion asked rhetorically in hushed whispers - a comment of indignation directed at concepts like the aforementioned nectar. Sighing, the small fox finally comprehended why the powerful digimental had been stolen. The science behind it was beyond her, but the cause was undoubtedly vile and impugnable. Blessedly, that was the fundamental reason why she and her treasured partners were here; to thwart ill-usage and restore serenity to the lovely village of Rosewood.
Dismissing the ClearLöwemon's rash desire to end this interaction, the vulpine avant-gardist took a single step forward, her aureate eyes bravely meeting the raging fires of the entity she faced. "Where?" She demanded exact intel, having the idea of utilizing the Astamon as a pawn to efface the evil venture quickly and efficiently. No matter the response, there was still the business of dealing with the being of flames and fading panache. "And what about you? We obviously can't allow you to peach on us."

The ClearLöwemon was so eager to act justice on the lowly band of criminals who would resort to theft in order to do their horrible deeds, but his eagerness resulted in a mistake. A mistake that luckily Royland's trusted friend and comrade Cion did not fall in, her calm nature blossoming from years of experience. She made the right choice by asking where this little meeting would occur, it was one of the last questions this low level thug had answers for.
His eyes would try to look away from Cion's but that only bought him some few extra seconds before he had to talk once again. "H-here near the shack, five hours from now before the sun rises. We are supposed to meet Sir Astamon and two of his low level bodyguards. After we give him the digimental, our boss WereGarurumon will be inducted as a captain. Which if my knowledge is on point, the third tier rank. There are one level higher than captain, then Astamon and another digimon. Both of them are known as the Boss's hands, after that there is the Boss himself. Not a lot of digimon have seen him before, so any information on him is a complete secret. That is all I know, I swear." The Meramon said despite being a criminal, Meramon words had this sincere air around them.
"See Meramon was that so hard to do, I am almost inclined to forgive you for wasting our time. But that is not your biggest crime, that will be breaking and entering. And for that you will need to meet a different judge, make your prayers now." Kazuya said as he turned towards Cion who made a very good point, what should they do to this Meramon know now that they already got all of the information they can get from him.
"Yeah I have an idea, it is clear to us that the information we need is with this WereGarurumon. So wouldn't it be a smart choice to knock him out and tie him up ? That way we can deal with the other two and catch them all at once. What do you think Cion?" Kazuya asked looking at his friend with a puzzled look on his face, the group should know that whatever they are going to do. They need to act fast and deal with the WereGarurumon before the time runs up, luckily they have more than enough time on their hands.
